Back Again? Not Really

After living for a week in a hospital, finally I’ve been given a chance to sleep peacefully (without clumsy nurses waking me up in the middle of the night just to ask, “Doktora, naibigay na po ba ‘yung meds due ng 10?”) here at home. Well, it’s because I’ve got clinic hours tomorrow and I asked if I could just stay home for the night and then be back at the hospital to be Daddy’s hospital companion again after my clinic.

Daddy wanted me to be with him in the hospital as much as possible because of some bad experiences he had with the nurses in the hospital. One such experience is that when a nurse forgot to unclamp his foley catheter for 3 hours during his bladder training (weaning him from his foley catheter by clamping it so he could feel the urge to urinate). Poor Daddy, he had lower abdominal pain because of a full bladder and he can’t pass out the urine because of the clamped catheter. I wasn’t around in the hospital at that time because I was out buying medicines. He then called me on my cellphone asking me to come back because he can’t urinate and he was in pain. He really got mad with the nurse because the nurse thought he was to clamp the catheter for 3 hours every 4 hours (geez, didn’t he know that a normal adult can produce 1-2 cc of urine/kg of body weight every hour?).
